28d01b1d69e947a50b9ab9b45113fda1c4f96ac9 configure: Add -Wno-gnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end
A Linux headers update to v6.0-rc switches some definitions from GNU
'zero-length-array' extension to the C-standard-defined flexible array
member. e.g.
struct kvm_msrs {
__u32 nmsrs; /* number of msrs in entries */
__u32 pad;
- struct kvm_msr_entry entries[0];
+ struct kvm_msr_entry entries[];
};
Those (unlike the GNU zero-length-array) have some extra restrictions like
'this must be put at the end of a struct', which clang build would complain
about. e.g. the current code
struct {
struct kvm_msrs info;
struct kvm_msr_entry entries[1];
} msr_data = { }
generates the warning like:
target/i386/kvm/kvm.c:2868:25: error: field 'info' with variable sized
type 'struct kvm_msrs' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU
extension [-Werror,-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end]
struct kvm_msrs info;
^
In fact, the variable length 'entries[]' field in 'info' is zero-sized in
GNU defined semantics, which can give predictable offset for 'entries[1]'
in local msr_data. The local defined struct is just there to force a stack
allocation large enough for 1 kvm_msr_entry, a clever trick but requires to
turn off this clang warning.
